EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 19th century and experience life on board a British man-of-war through this photo print. The daily routine of sailors is captured in vivid detail, from playing up the colours at 8am to taking up the slops and sorting mail for the Fleet. The image also showcases moments of camaraderie and leisure, such as a Corrobborie - an Aboriginal dance - being performed in the gun room on Saturday night. Pay-day is another highlight, where sailors eagerly await their hard-earned wages. In contrast, we see a glimpse into the more somber side of naval life with a scene set in the sick bay. Here, medical staff attend to injured or ill crew members, highlighting the harsh realities faced by those serving at sea. Through this historical snapshot, viewers are transported back to a time when ships were not just vessels of transport but bustling communities with their own unique culture and traditions. The vibrant colors and lively activities depicted serve as a reminder of the resilience and spirit that defined life on board a man-of-war in 1892.
